Definitions

  • Certain embodiments of the present invention relate to a shovel that includes a swiveling motor driven by electric power accumulated in a power storage device.
  • a shovel that maintains driving of an electric swivel system by increasing an output of an engine by reducing an output of a power storage system in a case where an abnormality of the power storage system is detected is known.
  • a shovel including: an engine; a motor generator that functions as a power generator that uses a drive force of the engine and functions as a motor capable of assisting the engine; a power storage system; a swiveling motor; a bus line that connects the motor generator, the power storage system, and the swiveling motor; and a control device that controls movements of the motor generator, the power storage system, and the swiveling motor, in which in a case where the power storage system is stopped, the control device supplies electric power of the motor generator that functions as the power generator to the swiveling motor when the swiveling motor is in a power running operation, and supplies regenerative electric power of the swiveling motor to the motor generator that functions as the motor when the swiveling motor is in a regenerative operation.
